looking good man! keep it up! :D
Eb I'm sorry but I don't know the answer to the reflectors. I just bought mine like it was and never found out anything about them. :(
Dont know what youv'e got there eh? Was it a bagseed? Usually stuff you buy is a mix of indica/sativa and alot of growers will grow and sell whatever is going to bud and finish faster.....your indicas. They look nice and happy and are starting to fill in I think....that's your lighting at work.
Have a log in my sig but it's not too exciting unless there is a disaster or something....haven't had one lately. :)
If you're really bored dig up some of my old threads.....I have done some really cruel things to my plants... ;)
yes they are bagseeds, nothing to special that i got them from. Had a good smoke. Figured i would start with these, and then buy some known genetics.
as for the reflectors, i think i will leave them alone. I might take some more sheet metal polish it, and then compare the differences, when ever i get bored.... sounds like a good stoned mission lol.
i just read your log, i wish i had your plant :-) hah, a blueberry, one of my all time fav's, i will prolly be my choice for next time around.
Probably figure 8-9 weeks as a general rule but maybe longer in soil? I don't know anything about soil as I suck at it.
yea polishing will help but only negligibly. :)
well i doubt i will be staying on the soil train for toooo long.., messy stuff in my clean closet :-), but 8-9 weeks should be the target. i hope for 60-70 days of flowering, if it takes longer than that, they will be chopped down anyways.
had a good look at the plants today, i see trichs!, forming on the inner parts of the buds. yay. Some of the pistals have a little bit of red at the tips.
i think i will save polishing the reflectors till i am bored one day, and stoned as hell.
Sounds like a plan! :D
little update. I haven't had much web access lately. I am on day 39 of flower.
started to have to feed them espson salts. for MG. Gave them the last bit of fert for now. 5-30-5. i don't think i will have enough time till done, to add another.
Conner is getting pretty big. While Marli is just starting to fill out a bit more. Starting to see a few red hairs here and there, and trichs are forming all over the place. With a nice skunky aroma. Marli doesn't really smell that much yet.
I will post pictures when i can. prolly won't be for a couple days.
Those are looking good eb.Lights definitely help.
pictures as promised.

whatca think?
Your buds look great!!. Your leaves are looking like you have a deficiency or ph lockout of some kind. What kind of nutes are you using and what kind of water? do you know what the ph of your soil is?
i have a MG def, i just started to give them espson salts. to fix that problem.
ph of the soil is around 6.7 according to my run off water.
i have been nursin them back to health with the salts, i should have started to give them it earlier.
they are at 42 days of flowerin. i figure in another 3 weeks or so, is when i will get to chop them down.
Nice Job Ebs!:thumbsup:
Rock.
nice plants!
Excellent Ebs, good work getting them diagnosed and back on track. The buds look very happy....just keep supporting it till the end. :thumbsup:Quote:

Nothing like toking your own grown.....:thumbsup:

DAY 46 flower

Two different types, marli was my topped plant, and conner is more like a sog grow. with just one huge main cola.Marli has sooo many bud sites. seems like it wants to bud everywhere. As a result alot of the buds are just growing skinny. but hey, i am sure they will fatten up in the next 2 weeks
whatca think?
They're looking gooooood Ebsters. :thumbsup: Now you can see why people top....it does help increase the yield. The very last thing they do is fill in so they'll look skiimpy for awhile.
This is where your good lighting gives you a big boost. ;)
i can see why people top, ur right.
I have never messed with it, i've always grown sog style, with main colas. So this time around i decided to top one, then compare yield to the other.
I have noticed them starting to fill in, but with about 14 days left till they have been flowerin for 8 weeks. I sure hope marli decides to fill in alot more. Conner while with only one main cola, and few under it, prolly has more weight currently than the topped plant.
They have started to grow like sob's now again, they were stunted for a bit while they had the mg problems.
They make take a little longer than 8 weeks since they were sick for awhile....everything slows way down and it takes time for the plants to get back into full swing so don't be surprised if they need to go a little longer.
I think they will come out well if you don't have any further problems. What's your plan for your next grow?
Next grow i have just waiting to start. But weed hound, you should definately, let me know how yours turns out, it looks so pretty.
5 blue berry seeds. I am going to do couple of different things with them.
1 will be lsted to no end.
1 will be srog
1 will be sog, style (one main cola)
the other 2 will be topped and topped.
and a huge grow log :-) hopefully showing the fruits of all different styles of growing. To see what works for me the best.
I don't really expect them to finish on time, Who knows, will have to pull out the magnifying glass. I fed them couple days ago, expecting it to be my last, and then just water with salts. Since i had a little nute burn last time, i should be ok until harvest. if not, then it will be harvest time early.
There's an old thread around.....let me see if I can find it where someone tried some different ways of topping etc but he only did the beginning. It would be great if someone logged that type of grow all the way through with photos and all.....super piece of info for people to have on hand.

you might check this out to get an idea of the different ways you can play around with your plants to help yield. ;)
interesting.
thanks for the link. My log will be some thing like that :-)
However, i will have to revise my grow area a bit to be able to fit 5 1 gallon pots in.
looking goodo! :)
What a great job upgrading your grow. Cant wait to see how this turns out. those buds should start getting bigger as you get closer to harvest. Good luck.
Here is an update. day 52 flower. They are doing GREAT! The Fan leaves have started to yellow, On my untopped plant "Conner" . . I harvested all of Conners Lower buds to let the plant focus on the main cola. It has exploded in new growth at the top of the cola.
My other plant "Marli" whom is topped still has mostly green fan leaves, but they have started to yellow in some areas. Her buds are growing sooo fast and are starting to fill out. Some of the Buds on the top have a few red hairs, but not to many trichs. I hope trich production to start to really kick in soon.
I dryed out a few of the smaller buds from conner. In the oven at 140 degrees for hour and a half. Smoked some. And came to update you guys about it, cause the smoke was great!. So tasty, nice aroma, and gets you pretty blasted, with a gravity. Smoked in a bowl as well. I am very pleased. I could chop Conner down now and bit happy, but i know it will only get better in the next week or so. Trichs are 90% clear and 10% cloudy, On conner.
I have not tested marli yet, her looks a little imature, as the trichs are just starting to get produced. they are 100% clear.
Here are the pictures

That is one BIG-ASS cola on that plant. :thumbsup: Glad the smoke is good and has a nice buzz. You're right too....they'll only get better with time. :)
yah they look great. nice job.
nice lookin bud Ebs.:thumbsup:
yea you'll definatly yield more than 7 grams
Ok guys, today was day 57 of flower.
Sorry no pics, but after close inspection, i saw some amber trichs on both plants, so :chainsaw: time. I the plants trichs were about 10% clear 80% milky and 10% amber. The lowest buds were at about 50% milky and 50% clear. While the top biggest cola, 30% amber, 70% milky.
Yielded about 3 oz wet. After cuting all the fan leaves off and all the other leaves off in general. I figure in about 2 weeks, i will be stuck with about 1.5 oz. Which isn't bad for not letting them get very big in veg, (flowering early 3 week veg time). And then adding more and more lights through out flowering.
Both plants are still alive, and i am plan on veg them, again. I am also starting 5 new ones here shortly.
Pictures to come, when they are all dryed up and ready.
Wow.....that's not a bad pull at all one 150watts considering your issues. Good work Eb!:thumbsup: Your next grow will be even better. :)
Looking good. How many days left until you harvest?
hmm, i thought yeild was a lower % than that after drying.
ill wait for the official tally.
either way, nice job, good work.
Rock.
truth be told, i snagged a couple lil mini buds off lo on my Don-na, and was kinda tasty
haha, ya its tasty alright.
d rock, already harvested. Buds are drying out. in a cardboard box with strings.
so in about 6-7 days, we will see the final product.
On a side note, my topped plant, pollenated itself, on a few of the buds so developed some seeds in a few buds.
However my untoppped main cola plant is 100% seed free, and looks like some killer dank nuggets.
Sure hope you didn't throw those seeds away because if it is a self-pollinated plant the seeds will all be female.
nah i am keepin them :-)
